Client Testimonials

“Plexus helped us fill a critical VP of clinical operations requirement on the East Coast. They understood the brief quickly and delivered a shortlist that exceeded expectations.”

— Chief People Officer, Global CRO

“We needed a VP with global trial experience, but also someone who could roll up their sleeves in a lean team. Plexus brought us a shortlist with strong Phase I–III exposure, and she has already made an impact on both our strategy and study execution.”

— CEO – Series B Oncology Biotech (Europe)

“We’d been trying to fill a Principal Investigator role at one of our more remote sites for over a year. Plexus brought us a shortlist of 4 board-certified physicians with Phase II–III experience, and we were able to relocate one of them successfully. I would highly recommend Plexus for PI searches.”

— VP, Site Network Expansion (US)

“Second search with them, same result – excellent.”

— VP of People, US-based CRO

“Plexus delivered a shortlist quickly for our Business Development Director position on the West Coast. They must be well-networked in the CDMO space. I will be using them again as we strengthen the BD team in other regions.”

— Chief Commercial Officer – Biologics CDMO (US)

“We’ve been working with Plexus to expand our network of physician partners across the US. We’ve already built a few strong partnerships through them, and it’s made a real difference. Thank you, and keep going!”

— CEO, US Site Network

“Plexus helped us hire our Sr. Director of Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs), who has now successfully relocated to Shanghai. They presented some exceptional profiles which couldn’t have been easy to find, and helped manage the entire process with professionalism and care.”

— SVP R&D, Global CRDMO

“We’ve used Plexus across multiple functions now – commercial, clinical, and ops. What stands out is their consistency and ability to understand each brief in context, not just in isolation. It feels like a genuine partnership, not just transactions, which is rare in my experience.”

— Chief Operations Officer, Multi-site CDMO
